Hi Proudad, Here's a couple of pics to help clarify everything. The cartridge will come with atomizer when you buy it: A drip tip is usually bought seperately: If you have a cartridge follow mcquinns advice. if you have a drip tip, you'll notice in the pic that there is a small O-ring at the bottom. You might be able to find a thicker O-ring at a hardware store that would give you a tighter fit.

I will always have a special link to NJOY. It was my first e-cig and I thank them for taking the fight to the FDA, My hats off to them. http://www.cspnet.com/ME2/Audiences/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=44058FBFC2C54A2FB9A0F23ED085611A&AudID=6C81F2B488CE41838BC84AF1AE2AF9CD

The Court of Appeals dissolved its March 31st stay of Judge Leon's injunction. In English, Judge Leon (District Court) issued a preliminary injunction against the FDA, telling it that it could no longer seize NJOY and SE's shipments while the case was being heard. The FDA appealed Judge Leon's grant of the preliminary injunction to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals said that until it actually had time to fully consider the issues, Judge Leon's injunction would be stayed (put on hold). The Court of Appeals has now dissolved that stay, effectively making Judge Leon's preliminary injunction once again in full force and effect. While this is directed at NJOY, this should in effect, potentially stop the FDA for seizing products at the border.

I have also noticed that there is a bit of inconsistency in the barrel size tolerance of atomizers that cause drip tips to fit tight in one atomizer, while fitting loose in others. If you have multiple drip tips, you could set up different ones with different thicknesses of O-rings. That way as the atomizer barrel tolerance changes, you will always have a drip tip that fits.

A "mod" is a modified battery e-cig. It consists of an e-cig body which houses removable lithium-ion batteries. These are larger units that are not mass produced, but have great advantages over the mass produced units that look like cigarettes. First and most importantly is that the battery life is WAY longer. The removable batteries are cheaper to replace when they no longer hold a charge. Mods are available in a variety of voltage levels, including models that are adjustable voltage. Standard e-cigs that look like cigarettes are often referred to as stick batteries. In these models the e-cig is the battery, which means that when the battery no longer holds a charge it is the entire unit that you are replacing. Battery charge life on these models is about 2 hours, which hardly fits anyone's lifestyle. They hit good when the battery is at a full charge, but within 20 minutes the voltage starts to drop and leave you not as satisfied. I hope this helps, and if you want to catch up on terminology check out this post http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/forum/topic/9784-jargon-for-noobs/ For a more detailed description of the evolution of standard e-cigs to mods read this http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/forum/topic/8803-the-noobie-guide/
